A note on biotopology of reproduction

In a recent paper (Bull. Math. Biophysics, 20, 245, 1958), Robert Rosen applied topological considerations to the study of an organism as a whole. Those considerations have no direct relation to the principle of biotopological mapping. They rather represent a topological model of an organism, especially a model of the repair mechanisms which organisms possess for lost or impaired parts. In this note it is shown that the model introduced by Rosen may possibly be derived from the principle of biotopological mapping plus a proper definition of the primordial. Such a derivation may also provide a clue to a proper biotopological approach to the problem of multiplication of organisms.
